Happy Pentecost Sunday! Today is the climax of the Easter season and the great feast of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Church. Next Sunday will be the solemnity of the Holy Trinity, and the following Sunday will be Corpus Christi. I hope everyone has enjoyed the Jubilee weekend so far. Please join us in the hall this morning (Sunday) for a little celebration after the 10am and 11.15am Masses. Also today at the 11.15 Mass, we will bless the new flags for our Scouts groups. This Bishop will be here on Friday for the school 50th anniversary—please note that there is no 10am Mass on Friday as it will be replaced by the parish Mass at 2.30pm. Please join us. Have a wonderful feast and a great week.

On this Good Shepherd Sunday (the Fourth Sunday of Easter) we celebrate that Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is risen from the dead and leads us from death to life. Today we are also asked to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. We also pray for all priests, that they like Jesus, may be good shepherds in their way of life and their ministry. Please pray for Ashley from our parish who will begin his formation for the priesthood in September. If anyone else would like to speak to me about a vocation, please let me know. Finally, next Sunday at 11.15am Mass we will celebrate the Going Forth Mass in thanksgiving for the recent First Holy Communions.

Today is the Third Sunday of Easter. In the Gospel we hear about the encounter between the fishermen disciples and the Risen Jesus. Even today, the power of the Risen Lord and the joy of the Gospel make possible such a huge catch of fish! The Good News continues to reach to the very ends of the earth. Well done to everyone for the First Communion celebrations yesterday. I was so sad to miss the Masses due to my being unwell. Thank you also to Frs. Jerome and Johnson who have had to cover for me both during my trip and now again as I am unwell—I owe them! And thank you to Bishop John and Fr Mark who are also visiting today to help me out. I send you all renewed Easter greetings.
